I'm not gonna mince words here-- this blender sucks. Things get stuck in and around the blades, and it is not remotely easy to clean, particularly veggie/fruit skins (think tomatoes, peaches, eggplant, etc). Spring for the one that costs $15 more-- it's worth the extra money.

Blending power is good, but the design makes it heavier and more awkward to clean than it ought to be. Other stick blenders have a detachable stick section to separate it (and importantly the blade!) from the motor; that makes a big difference to ease of cleaning and overall convenience.

This is a terrible design. The head does not detach so washing it is a nightmare. You can't even turn it over because the water will run into the electronic part. Not worth it at all

Not blending, accumulation of food on the head and difficulty cleaning the head.

Iorder it and was disappointed.. its blade were not sharp iwas rubbing my finger on its blade.. no use of it Returning it

Performs well, is easy to use and to clean. I would buy it again and would recommend it to others!

Great tool ! Have been without one for some while believe or not. You don't know how much you need this handheld until you're without one ! Cuisinart makes useful and reliable products . Happy I made the purchase and what a deal!!!!

I have been wanting a hand blender for months. My Mom got me the Cuisinart Qwik Prep for my birthday this year, and i couldn't be happier with it. It takes a lot of extra work with your hands-out of the way.
